The present study aims to probe into the first language acquisition of Mandarin RVCs. The issues addressed in the present study included the acquisition of metaphorical effects, categorical effects, telicity effect, and task effects. The present study adopted a production task (i.e., a picture-cued task) and a comprehension task (i.e., a multiple-choice task). The subjects of this study consisted of 100 Chinese-speaking children and a control group of 20 adults. The children were further divided into five experimental groups according to their age. The overall results indicated that the children learned literal RVCs earlier than metaphorical RVCs, and the critical age was probably at the age of six. With respect to task effects, the subjects consistently performed better on the comprehension task than on the production task. A general tendency of acquisition of the three types of verbs was found: ActR > SemR > StaR. It is demonstrated that ActR was acquired the earliest and comparatively the easiest of all. SemR was found relatively easier to produce, but more difficult to comprehend. StaR was the most difficult to acquire at a fairly young age, but once it was acquired, at the age of eight, it became easy for the children to obtain an adult-like competence. The result also showed that the semantic features [- Static] and [+ Durative] were acquired relatively early, probably at around the age of five (Group 2), while [+ Static] was acquired relatively late, probably at around the age of eight (Group 5).

This thesis aims to investigate the verb-adjective (i.e., V-A) pseudo-resultative compounds in Mandarin Chinese, such as kun-jin ‘bind-tight’. As previous studies indicate, in Chinese, what is modified by the adjective of V-A resultative compounds can be the subject DP or the object DP. However, little attention has been paid to the V-A pseudo-resultative compounds in which a modification relation between the resultative adjective and the argument of the verb cannot be established. The analysis argues that, in line with Distributed Morphology (Halle and Marantz 1993), the root of the verb is modified by the adjective, as proposed in Levinson (2010) for pseudo-resultative predicates in English. In considering the characteristic that the V component is always found to have a classifier counterpart, I propose that the roots are “reconfiguration roots” that have compatible dimensions for the A component to measure. In addition, the reconfiguration root combines with two light verbs CAUSE and BECOME. The derived the verb denotes an reconfiguring event, and the event causes a reconfiguration state which can be modified by the adjective.

Two issues regarding Mandarin resultative compounds, headedness and argument realization, present a complex phenomenon. For one thing, extensive studies (Cheng & Huang, 1994; Gu, 1992; Huang & Lin, 1992; Y. Li, 1990, 1993, 1995, 1999; C. Li, 2008, 2009; Shen, 1992; Tai, 2003) concerning headedness fail to critically determine the head of a Mandarin resultative compound. For another, despite previous research (Her, 2004, 2007; Li, 1990, 1995), the interaction between arguments and grammatical functions of Mandarin resultative compounds remains inconclusive. To settle the foregoing matters, the purpose of this thesis is to probe into argument realization and headedness from a lexicalist approach, aiming to provide a full account of both issues. In the first part of this thesis, following Her’s (2004, 2007) analysis, the thesis focuses on formulating systematic feasible argument structures for Mandarin resultative compounds, then examining the argument structures of a resultative compound to explain its possible readings and syntactic representations. Based on the available argument structures proposed in the first half, the second part of the thesis investigates the headedness of Mandarin resultative compounds, suggesting that the head can be determined when arguments are overt. The criterion for headedness that is adopted in this thesis involves assumptions proposed by Zwicky (1984), Y. Li (1990, 1995), Chung (2006), and C. Li (2008, 2009). Finally, the thesis demonstrates that both issues of argument realization and headedness are well governed by Lexical Mapping Theory and that Lexical Mapping Theory further clarifies constructions with locative inversion of Mandarin resultative compounds.

This thesis aims to discuss the syntactic structure and semantic interpretationof the Resultative Verb Compounds (RVCs) in Mandarin within the Minimalist Program (Chomsky 1995). It is argued that the verb compounds of RVCs are two separate units originated in different clauses. Following Larson's (1988) vp shell analysis, it is assumed that RVCs are composed of a complex vp headed by a resultative light verb subcategorizing for a sentential subject and a clausal complement. This explains why sentences with RVCs involve two events. Moreover, it is claimed that a resultative feature is a strong feature and for convergence, it attracts V2 of RVCs to move up to the v position before SPELL OUT, resulting in the surface patterns of RVCs. With respect to the interpretations of RVCs, following Huang (1989), I assume that the null elements in object positions are variables bounded by a discourse topic, but those in subject positions are pros. In order to interpret the pro, a Compatibility Filter is proposed. Finally, it is argued that the present study can also account for sentences with various readinngs by virtue of the feature system.

The resultative verb compounds (hereafter RVC) in Chinese consist of two verbal elements, with the second element signifying the result of the action/state denoted by the first (Li and Thompson 1981). Smith (1997) hence suggests that RVCs are like English Accomplishments. However, there are some cross-linguistic variations between RVCs and Accomplishments, though the two verbs have the action-result semantic relation between their semantic components. Tai (1984), for example, indicates that the Mandarin RVC encodes only the aspectual meaning of the result; thus, RVCs are instantaneous verbs, whereas English Accomplishments with the aspectual meaning of both the action and result are durative verbs. Tai (2003) also points out that in Mandarin RVCs, the result of an event is ‘overtly’ expressed with the resultative morpheme, while in English Accomplishments, it is ‘covertly’ expressed, or ‘implied’ in the meaning of the verb (Tai 2003). Based on the difference between Mandarin and English in the specification of ‘result’, Tai claims that English speakers would attend less to the result part of the event than Chinese speakers. Motivated by the cross-linguistic variations between Mandarin RVCs and English Accomplishments, this study explores the L2 acquisition of Mandarin RVCs by English L2 learners to see whether they have full understanding of the semantic properties of RVCs in general and whether their acquisition varies according to the three RVC types—divided based on the semantic property of the two constituents-- Activity-Result, Semelfactive-Result and State-Result RVCs. Forty native English speakers learning Chinese at the MTC participated in this study, and they were further divided into two groups according to their Chinese proficiency levels, i.e., the intermediate and high groups. The instrument was a survey composed of two tasks--grammaticality judgment (GJ) and sentence interpretation (SI). The overall results showed that the learners’ performance differed according to the three RVC types. They did best on the Sta-R RVCs, with the notable exception of test questions containing both a Sta-R RVC and the adverb chayidianr ‘almost’ in the SI task. Among the three RVC types, the Sem-R RVC had the lowest accuracy rate. Though the learners performed better on the Act-R RVC than on the Sem-R RVC, there was no significant difference between the performances. A further examination revealed that the English learners had the knowledge that the result part constitutes the semantic focus of RVCs and treated Act-R and Sem-R RVCs as English typical Achievements and derived Achievements, respectively. Moreover, the results showed that the learners’ L1 played a crucial role in the L2 acquisition of Mandarin RVCs. In the GJ task, it has been observed the compatibility between the meaning of the derived Achievement and the English progressive misled the learners into considering that Sem-R RVCs could appear with the Mandarin imperfective aspect marker zhengzai, which implies that the L1-L2 difference in structure brings about negative transfer. With respect to positive transfer, it was found that the accuracy of judgment for the Act-R RVC was higher than that for the Sem-R RVC, suggesting that the L1 knowledge of (typical) Achievements had great help in acquiring the Act-R RVC. In the SI task, the results showed that as far as the Action-Result RVCs are concerned, the frequency of the result interpretation for questions with the adverb ‘almost’ is higher than that for questions without the adverb, suggesting that the learners relied heavily on English Achievements when making decision on the center predication of sentences with such RVCs. Last but not least, our results showed that English-speaking people attended more to the action part of the event than to the action part.
